ACASHA (A Symbol of Eternity and Resurrection)

Chapter 22's

...🦋 HAPPY READING 🦋...

The girl stepped into the palace hall. Looking for a figure that he is currently very worried about his condition.

Marquis Steven has told the truth of this. But he only said if the royal family forced Duke Herli to approve this marriage, if Duke Herli refused again, then they would eliminate Lady Camelia who was at home.

Castela felt sorry for her father. The old man should have rested and enjoyed his old age. But destiny says otherwise, not everything goes according to human will.

Castela ran over to her father who was daydreaming at the end of the room. He immediately pulled his father out of the place. Before his emotions took over.

They did not need to walk far enough, as the Ardeland Family's carriage was already waiting in front.

"Darling, forgive papa-"

"No need to continue, we can discuss it later. Now we better get back to the mansion. I'm too tired today." Said Castela who had closed her eyes while leaning her head on the chair.

The horse carriage drove back to the residence. Today was a really exhausting day for him. Marchel was silent. He did not look at his father's face.

For some reason, he was still sick and disappointed with his father. Although his sister had told him the truth, but he still could not accept all of this. Didn't they promise to protect Castela?

What the current royal party wants is Castela, not Camelia. But he also could not let his sister that one was in danger. Ah, that girl, not until when she's gonna fall asleep there. Though the healer has said if the condition of his body has improved. But until now, there are still no signs as well if he will be aware.

Marcel is in turmoil right now. He was faced with two absurd choices. Choosing Castela and sacrificing Camelia's life. Or choose Camelia and sacrifice Castela's entire life with the monster.

He loved his two sisters very much. Until he really couldn't sacrifice one of them.

The horse-drawn carriage reached the residence right at midnight. It all happened because the distance of the palace was quite far.

Castela went straight into her room followed by Ema. He just told Ema not to bother him because he was really very tired.

After helping Castela change clothes, Castela tells Ema to return to her room to get married. Castela stood on the balcony of her room. Staring at the snow falling in the night sky.

He recalled his last conversation with Marquis Steven before leaving.

"You have to be careful El, sometimes not all the enemies we can see. There are enemies hiding in the shadows. And such an enemy is the most dangerous. He could be someone you know, someone who knows you, or someone who is always around you."

"Is there anything I don't know but you know Steve?" Castela asked because she felt strange about her best friend's words.

"There is a truth that will one day be revealed El, and I have no part to reveal that truth. I know, there's so many questions you'd like to ask right now. But you have to be patient El, let time answer every question you want to know the answer to." Marquis Steven looked at the beautiful face of Castela among the snow that fell to the earth

"But believe me El, me and Brian have a vital part to protect you, until you find that answer."

Castela closed her bedroom window. It's getting colder tonight. He immediately went up to the bed, and closed his eyes.

He recalled the same dreams he had in every sleep since he first woke up in this world. Is this all related? So what does that dream mean?

...🦋🦋🦋...

Today, Castela is ready with her horse. He will go secretly to meet Steven and Brian at the SEATHLAND and Zwitland borders.

Well, he had already decided to trust those two humans. Even though inside him there was still a bit of doubt.

"Miss, are you really going? Can't they just come here?" For the most part Ema always asks the same question.

He was really worried. He was afraid that something would happen to his wife. Given the last incident when the nonanya left, he returned with a condition that can not be said well as his promise in the letter.

"Can't be Ema, papa might allow Marquis Steven, but he'll kill Brian right away. Don't you know that papa hated Brian so much after that time?" The same answer to Ema's question is sexiness.

"Surely because of that, miss, I'm afraid that Mr. Brian will again hurt the lady. I'm really very scared miss." Speak to Ema with tears flowing.

"Hey, why are you being so annoying like this? I promise to come back well at this time. You don't have to worry, okay? Just do your job, don't let anyone bother me in the room until tomorrow morning. Then everything will be safe." Castela assured his servant.

Ema finally agreed. However, she could not let her nonaanya tormented when later entered the palace with the status as empress prince Morgan.

Castela drove his horse through the path he made to escape that time.

"Huh! It's all because of Brian the bastard. If only he hadn't done that pervert, I wouldn't have bothered to go quietly like this." Castela's grunt along his journey.

Hiyakk!!

Castela increased the speed of his horse so that he could get to the border soon. Fortunately, the border with the city is not too far away. It only took two hours with the horse.

"Huaahhh, I'm so happy. I thought you were really missing." Castela smiled happily as she occasionally hugged the white horse's neck.

Two hours finally passed, Castela got off her horse when she saw two horses already moored on one of the tree trunks. Not far from the horse, there was a small house, but it was very clean. This house seems to be routinely cleaned.

Castela tied a black rope on one of the tree trunks. And let the horse eat the weeds. Castela stepped into the house.

The first look he saw when he entered were paintings of three small children. Two men flanking a woman with a very flat face.

Castela rubbed one of the paintings. This is an original Castela painting as a child, and these two men must have been Steven and Brian. Steven wasn't lying.

Castela's tears trickled as she realized a foreign feeling was enveloping her chest. He felt a warmth in this place. Like a longing, he really felt a bond.

'Is this the original Castela feeling?'

"Ah, have you arrived?" Marquis Steven asked who had just come out from one of the rooms.

"As you can see." Castela then turned her gaze away from the painting.

"Are you not very pretty? The rumors are really overstated. Come follow me, Brian's waiting." Said Marquis Steven shaking his head, who was nodded by Castela.

They went into a room. Castela covered both of her mouth with a surprised look as she looked at the figure currently leaning on the head of the bed.

He smiled at Castela who was ready to come. Although at this moment, his smile really looked terrible because of his condition.

"W-what happened to you?" castela asked and approached Brian who looked very, very messed up. His lips were torn with a blushing bruise. His hands, feet, and head were full of bandages. Both of his eyes looked swollen and blue.

"The prince beat him up when this fool tried to take you away. He's really very stupid, he can scare you with reason to want to harass.Look, even his condition is really sad" said Marquis Steven laughed.

"Hey, stop laughing at me! it's not funny if you want to work together at that time" said Brian put on an upset face because he was very difficult to talk.

"I'm sorry Brian, I thought that you were a pervert and wanted to do evil to me" Castela said regretfully.

"Hey, what the fuck is your face. He's a pervert, so don't feel guilty. Let him, count these as lessons so that this fool does not act rashly again" said Steven.

"Oh yes El, the orange wolf in your house, is that yours?" ask Steven later.

Castela was a little surprised, how could they know? But Castela just used to nod in confirming.

"You don't need to be surprised, the wolf saved Brian and attacked Prince Morgan. It's a good thing I acted fast, otherwise this fool would be dead."

"Hey! stop calling me a fool! I got a fucking name! and you don't have to say anything unnecessary, just get to the point!" said Brian who was annoyed because Steven had insulted him in front of the girl he liked a long time ago.

"What exactly do you want to talk to me about?" asked Castela with a serious face.

"That wolf of yours, is a rare kind of wolf. I overheard Princess Rosenta's conversation with the prince at your birthday party last night" Steven said with a serious look.

"What did you hear?"

"That demon woman, told prince Morgan to steal your wolf. The person behind Rosenta wanted the power that was in the wolf's body. By drinking her blood at a forbidden ritual, then that demonic woman would have immense power. That way he would take down the Zwitland kingdom with just one strike."

"But why would he do that? what reason?" castela did not understand.

"The reason is you're El, as I said. Beware, your real enemy is not that demonic woman. But, the most dangerous person who was behind him. And the goal of doing all of this is just one, which is to get you out of this world" Brian said

"But why should I?" tanya Castela is weak.

He was really tired of all the events that continued to be present in his life. As if not allowing him to rest for just a moment.

"Because of you, is ACASHA. Your presence, really very threatening El." said Steven who made Castela look at him sharply.
